I saw something that looked like this:
But Frankie wasn't with me so I realized that 20 yards ahead of me on the trail was really one of these:

I didn't take this picture - my camera was in my pack and when the coyote saw me he skulked back into the brush, as is the nature of a coyote.

I did have time to get my camera and take this photo, as it is the nature of the tarantula to move a bit slower than a coyote.
